U of I students’ resolution targets Spear, Petrino, athletic department culture | Idaho Statesman

The ASUI Senate — the University of Idaho student legislative body — wants more than just Athletic Director Rob Spear’s removal.

It wants a study of the athletic department’s culture and a “last chance” message sent to football coach Paul Petrino, who also played a role in the mishandled sexual assault case that has stirred controversy on campus over the past month.

The Senate plans to meet with Spear before its meeting Wednesday, hear more public comments at its 7 p.m. Pacific meeting in the Idaho Commons and then vote on a resolution that would request that Spear resign or be fired.
